On the afternoon of November 26, 2025, a terrible fire started suddenly at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po, Hong Kong. The fire spread fast through seven buildings because of green mesh(防护网) and scaffolding(脚手架) for repairs. Unluckily, the fire caused 128 deaths.
The Hong Kong government officers acted at once to set up places for homeless people to live for a short time. Also, a team of firemen came but faced great difficulties because of awful heat and heavy smoke. Even if it was very hard, they still managed to save 55 people.
Besides the local efforts, the Chinese mainland also took quick action. Guangdong Province sent a large number of things like medicine, water and food. The Red Cross Society of China raised 2 million yuan for Hong Kong. Mainland companies and organizations donated(捐赠) over HK 600 million in all. And 5 million yuan was from the All-China Women's Federation.
Also, many people from the mainland went to blood donation centres in Hong Kong to help. Some offered free online psychological counselling(心理咨询). A local person shared, “Social workers(社会福利工作者) came to check on my child. It gives us a warm feeling.”
Heather Yin, a member of the Hong Kong Red Cross, said, “Although this disaster is a hard lesson in city safety, the great kindness from all sides is truly priceless. All the efforts between Hong Kong and the mainland show our deep connection.”
